[DiBi]

Hi,

Can someone please explain to me the difference between below two. Have tried to find an explanation but failed.

VRTS CLUSTER SERVER 5.1 S64LNX PER CPU TIER 2 STD LIC EXPRESS BAND S

VRTS CLUSTER SERVER 5.1S64LNX PER CPU TIER 2 INITIAL ESSENTIAL EXPRESS BAND S

which would constitue the actual cluster server software and what is the other?

Thanks!

Hi DiBi,

The first one is the software license:

VRTS CLUSTER SERVER 5.1 S64LNX PER CPU TIER 2 STD LIC EXPRESS BAND S

The second is the support contract:

VRTS CLUSTER SERVER 5.1S64LNX PER CPU TIER 2 INITIAL ESSENTIAL EXPRESS BAND S
